How do you determine the OS on the Liberal Party server?

In the event that it's M$ this may be a good opportunity to give Linux a 
plug.
Less susceptible to this type of attack?
And suggest that a Party which ostensibly espouses free trade might well 
have a look at some of the more enlightened software now freely 
available in the world.
Do their IT experts make a lot of sense in what they say?
A job for some of our lot to tackle - needs more technical savvy than 
what I've got.

There is a 'comments' panel available.
